Activity CompletionMoodle ISU

Introduction

Activity completion or progress tracking, allows the instructor to monitor student progress through the course. Setting the activity completion options dictates when an activity will be marked as complete. When an activity is marked complete, the student will see a checkmark next to the activity on the course page and in the progress tracking report.

From the Completion tracking dropdown menu, Select the desired option.

Do not indicate activity completion - The completion checkmark will not be displayed next to an activity. This also makes it so that you cannot set any completion conditions.

Students can manually mark the activity as completed - Students can click the check mark next to the activity on the course page to mark the activity as completed.

Show activity as complete when conditions are met - Allows you to create a set of conditions that must be met in order for the activity to be marked as complete.

Note: Different activities offer different sets of conditions that you can choose. Some of these other options include:

Require discussions - Thisis a forum-specific feature that requires a student to create a certain number of discussions before the activity is marked complete.

Require view - Thisis a forum-specific feature that requires a student to view a discussion before the activity is marked complete.

Require end date - This is a lesson-specific feature that requires the student to reach the end of the lesson before the activity is marked as complete.

Require entries -Thisis a glossary-specific feature that requires a student to create a certain number of entries before the activity is marked complete.

Require posts -Thisis a forum-specific feature that requires a student to post a certain number of times before the activity is marked complete.

Require replies - Thisis a forum-specific feature that requires a student to reply a certain number of times before the activity is marked complete.

Require time spent- This is a lesson-specific feature that requires the student to spend a designated amount of time in the lesson before it is marked as complete.

Expect completed on- This designates a date when the activity is expected to be completed.

Require grade - This requires the student to receive a grade before the activity is marked as complete.

Note: Students cannot see the Expected completed on date. It is only used in the activity completion report. Instructions for viewing your course activity completion report will be given later in this guide.

Activity Completion Conditional Settings
